What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Rimini?

We asked people in Rimini if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"In Rimini, it's considered rude to eat or drink while walking around town. It's also frowned upon to order a cappuccino after 11 am, as Italians typically only drink it in the morning. Avoid talking loudly in public places, as Italians value their peace and quiet. It's also important to dress appropriately when visiting churches or other religious sites, which means covering your shoulders and knees. Don't expect to rush through meals, as Italians take their time to enjoy food and conversation. Tipping is not mandatory in Italy, but it's appreciated if you round up the bill or leave a small amount. Don't be surprised if shops and businesses close in the afternoon for a few hours, as this is a common practice known as "riposo". Finally, remember to greet people with a handshake or a kiss on both cheeks, and always say "buongiorno" (good morning) or "buonasera" (good evening) when entering shops or restaurants," commented one expat who made the move to Rimini, Italy.
